There is no secret so close as that between a rider and his horse.

Nature, when she made the Arab, made no mistake.

Me and Red - Christmas Day 2005

Weave for the mighty chestnut
A tributary crown
Of autumn flowers, the brightest then
When autumn leaves are brown.
Hang up his bridle on the wall,
His saddle on the tree,
Till time shall bring some racing king
Worthy to wear as he!
~Charles Hatton~

Compared to other breeds that have 18 ribs, 6 lumbar bones, and 18 tail vertebrae, the Arabian's skeletal structure, with a 17-5-16 combination, is unique and accounts for the high carriage of its tail.
